Newbie bashing, cmonnnnnn guys Options

[funnyboy117]

We were all newbies once...I think everyone should go back to their very first posts and show that they made stupid mistakes at some point too...There really is a lot of hate towards newbies that is really undeserved. Not everyone knows that there is a search function, or that this stuff has been discussed before. So I'll get us started (even though I haven't been here very long).

I've seriously been looking into saving up for one of these engines, but in addition to the enormous price (all of which I would have to pay for off $8.50 an hour for now), I don't know if it's going to pass smog in California, because we got it pretty strict here.

Anyone around here who has one know? I don't wanna be an idiot and invest all this money into an engine that I won't even be able to run legally; it would be a pain to have to add on to the cost of the swap, just to get it to pass smog.

oh man such a newb move

For those that dont know what broken arrow is its military code meaning that someones in trouble and is calling for all the help of allys, in short. Im a US Marine on leave at the time im posting this. 2 days ago my hometown was flooded and my car got caught in the flood i tried to get it out and flooded my car out. Damage include a bent rod, cylinder wall damage, and the bottom of the piston slammed into the crank. Now the damage by my calculation is more to repair that engine then do a 3sgte engine swap. I anyone with experience doing it can give me insight or some kind of help it would be much apprieated.

thanx
